Christians, WE WILL NOT continue to seek Christ, value Him more than anything else or overcome sin and temptation on our own. God must be at work in us so that our will and actions conform to His (see Philippians 2:14 and Hebrews 13:21). We also need each other—the fellowship of the saints—so that through our encouragement we will incite one another to love and good works (see Hebrews 3:12-14 and Hebrews 10:24-25).So, do not neglect daily intimacy with Christ or regularly meeting together with your brothers and sisters—how about starting this Sunday? This is the only way we will finish and finish strong.
